THE HALL.--RHOSLLANERCHRY GOG. Ubi? “This is the second time of asking.”
618.--_Saturday, October 13, 1855._
THE PRUSSIAN ALLIANCE.--Will any one inform the writer why we should be
more angry with Prussia for not joining us in the war than with Sweden,
Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain? And why we may not
have a family alliance with a despotic Power as well as a political
one?--B. B., post-office, Chancery-lane.
619.--_Monday, October 15, 1855._
YES.--IMMOVABLE.
620.--_Monday, October 15, 1855._

BRIGHTON.--“I shall be ---- months,” July 15. The proposal will be
renewed when you return; its success depends upon your assisting me
openly. Do write and tell me everything. I cannot.--August 12, September
21 and 26.
623.--_Friday, October 19, 1855._
M. T.--RECEIVED BOTH. You are very naughty. Pray do not encourage him.
If you knew that your letters were safe would you write? My movements
are uncertain just now.
624.--_Friday, October 19, 1855._
TH. NI.--Ich gehe erst heute Donnerstag nach B. um jides
Missverstandniss vorzubengen sagen sie mir B. post-office, ob ich schon

TH. Ni. Samstag. Haben Sie heute von mir Brief erhalten? Wenn ich diesz
von Ihnen erfahren habe, nur dann Kann ich Ihnen wieder schreiben, ich
habe vielleicht unrecht meiner Gouwernante zu miesztrauen, aber die
Vorsicht gebiethet mir unsere Besprechung bis einer Nachricht von Ihnen
zu unterlassen. Briefe nach London. W.--Ihre Mutter befindet sich
besser.
627.--_Tuesday, October 23, 1855._
K.--Spare the undeserving. Transgressors there have been, ’tis true, but
none so great I think as you.--A. Z.
628.--_Thursday, October 25, 1855._
JUDGE NOT that you be not judged. I am weak, probably you are strong. “I
would not offend.”
629.--_Thursday, October 25, 1855._
HAYDEE.--Londres. J’ai reçu la visite No. 11, avec ses compagnons.
Therese est très tranquille; elle approuve de son ami. Oui, je vous
verrai comme vous m’indiquer; je dirai le jour; espère toujours,
j’approuve tout; les ennuis cesseront, le tourment de Brighton est
depuis deux mois à Paris ou l’ami F. la console; de Barcelone pas des
nouvelles.
630.--_Thursday, November 1, 1855._
HOPE.--By that pure love I have struggled to preserve, with every effort
of my soul; by that bitter cup you have given, and I drank to the
dregs--by those ties no man can sever--by promises made to those now no
more--I will see you. Be true to yourself and to me. Oh! M--y! M--y! I
would save you the pangs of error--God forbid of crime--and though the
passion, jealousy, hate and madness you have excited--be scorned and
denied--when the serpent you foster is wearied--yea, even then--here is
your haven, when all forsake.
God protect you.--D----.
631.--_Thursday, November 1, 1855._
HAYDEE.--Ce Lundi que j’ai reçu la visite de No. 3, elle était bien
aimable, bien bonne, et m’a rendue tout contente. Par la même adresse
vous pouvez me dire si mon ouvrage vous plait, je voudrais pour rien au
monde travailler pour le Roi de Prusse.
632.--_Friday, November 2, 1855._
ST. PAUL’S-CROSS.--One thing you seem to have forgotten.
633.--_Friday, November 2, 1855._
THE gay flowers of summer we can but admire, but the wild flowers of
spring will I place near my heart.
634.--_Saturday, November 3, 1855._
H. E. T. C. S.--Philip Augustus. “The oasis in the desert.”
635.--_Thursday, November 8, 1855._
D.--It must not be privately settled. You are deceived. Those now no
more were deceived. I foster none: but am true to ties of happier days.
Open to me a communication and a public investigation.--MARY.
636.--_Saturday, November 10, 1855._
STRANGER.--You were present, I was absent. I am present, you are
absent. Suspense I cannot bear. Tell me, am I never to see you
again?--W . . . . . r, November 7.
637.--_Wednesday, November 14, 1855._
YOU must be much more explicit for me to understand you. I fear a
mistake in the identity. Give me some definition.--STRANGER.
638.--_Wednesday, November 14, 1855._
PUSSA, Hornsey.--Three sent with the initials--two to first post-office
mentioned; the other to post-office, Knightsbridge. The same as ever,
more so if possible. Gravels so nice; expected the weddings. April 29
and 30. P. S. Last just received. Yes, for ever----.

OLD ADMIRAL, E. G. C. S., 44, is in GREAT TROUBLE.--November 29, 1855.
644.--_Saturday, December 1, 1855._
THE ADMIRAL.--X. K. Y. Z. Mark, alas! I blame myself. Figaro has
destroyed Prestos. Snooks’s “Old Clo,” hard up.
645.--_Tuesday, December 4, 1855._
A. B. C. D.--J’ai répondu à votre dernière lettre le 19e Novembre, en
adressant 15, C.C., et n’ai rien entendu depuis. Il me semble qu’une
lettre perdue ou un accident peuvent seul être cause de votre silence,
et je suis très inquiète. Adressez, comme avant, E. S. R., etc.
646.--_Wednesday, December 5, 1855._
TO TOOOPSI.--L’orage ne doit pas briser la fleur; son gardien vit de son
parfum et veille sur elle. Qu’elle ne se fâne pas pour lui--c’est sa
prière journalière. Le bouton de rose voudrait bien être cueilli, mais
qu’il se garde et ne s’épanouie que pour celui qui ne respire que par sa
rosée.
647.--_Thursday, December 6, 1855._
THE ADMIRAL.--Not yet. Poor me! Sorry for Mark, glad as to the others.
Anything pressing, say, and nw in a twinkle.
648.--_Thursday, December 6, 1855._
A. B. C. D.--J’ai répondu à votre dernière lettre le 19 Novembre, en
adressant 15, C . . . C . . . . et n’ai rien entendu depuis. Il me
semble qu’une lettre perdue ou un accident peuvent seul être cause de
votre silence, et je suis très inquiète. Adressez comme avant, E. S. R.,
Post-office, Brompton-road.
649.--_Friday, December 7, 1855._
THE ADMIRAL.--X. K. Y. Z. L. N. O. G. Presto!
650.--_Tuesday, December 11, 1855._
INNUMERABLE KIND WISHES; ever true. Unalterable, unalterable.
651.--_Friday, December 14, 1855._
JENNY LIND’S NIGHTS.--Ladies and Gentlemen, TAKE CARE of your PROPERTY.
A sufferer from the Swell Mob warns you!
652.--_Wednesday, December 19, 1855._
BOHEMIAN, where is thy work? For thee, all is delayed! Thou, who art
called Target, WRITE at once to Newington-butts, and pacify the
anxieties of Hookey and his clan.--December 18, 1855.
653.--_Monday, December 24, 1855._
OLD ADMIRAL.--E. G., C. S., 44, is in great TROUBLE. December 22, 1855.
654.--_Monday, December 24, 1855._
UNALTERABLE.--KIND WISHES. I have much to communicate. I don’t even know
where the one referred is now residing. Left.
655.--_Tuesday, December 25, 1855._
UNALTERABLE.--KIND WISHES has been RECEIVED. The once referred is still
here, and will be glad to hear a favourable report.--H., December 24,
1855.
656.--_Wednesday, December 26, 1855._
THE ADMIRAL.--Xkyz. Alas! Je vous souhaite une heureuse nouvelle année.
Requiescat in pace.
657.--_Thursday, December 27, 1855._
SPOONINI is anxious to HEAR of DAISY’S WHEREABOUTS. The charades pause
for a reply.
658.--_Monday, December 31, 1855._
THE ADMIRAL.--Dieu Le benisse! Alas! tu dis? Je suis très inquiet; mille
fois je réciproque les bons souhaits. Tu es mon rêve de la nuit, ma
vision du matin. Requiescat in pace? Ah, que c’était Snooks.
659.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
CE 1er JANVIER.--On vous renvoi à aujourd’hui un an le tout de même,
hormis le refrain--dont on reconnaît la stupidité!
660.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
SOMMES-NOUS toujours en rapport? Votre silence, nécessité ou volontiers?
Depuis la réception des deux numéros, point des nouvelles.--Dec. 31,
1855.
661.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
ALL RIGHT, to the 13th of October. C. is to be found at E., and
protection. Murray will do, and possesses. Nos. 1 and 3 doubtful. Still
depend confidently on the option William gave you; he will persevere
through all. He wishes to hear from you much. Your brother is pretty
well; his hope strong, and resolution unfaltering.
662.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
M. D. is most affectionately thanked for kind wishes and kinder advice;
but how sad and difficult a task will it prove to follow the latter. A
selfish and weak heart has to be controlled, and its very idol to be
given up. I will, however, strive as you desire, for I feel that I ought
to do thus much at least for a newly found and very dearly beloved
relative.
663.--_Wednesday, January 2, 1856._
DAISY feels inexpressibly flattered by Spoonini’s tender inquiries, but
having found a more perfect hero in a new company, she begs gratefully
to decline any renewal of the old engagement.
664.--_Friday, January 4, 1856._
C. B.--ALL WRONG, and very ill.
665.--_Friday, January 4, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--Merci. C’est le couleur de rose. Je suis
malheureuse.--Presto.
666.--_Saturday, January 5, 1856._
COULEUR BRUNE et BLEU.--J’ai RECUE tous vos LETTRES. Mille remerciments.
Vous trouverez mes nouvelles, comme vous m’indiquez, le Lundi ou Mardi
prochain. Mon bonheur dépend de votre tranquillité, de votre santé;
soignez-vous, donc, pour celui qui est à vous pour la vie.
667.--_Monday, January 7, 1856._
REACH.--YES. Address, as usual, W. H. C., 1, Long-lane. I mean the
metaphors.
668.--_Tuesday, January 8, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--Presto.--Je ne veux pas que vous y aller à la Porte St.
Martin. Vous la trouverez où je reçois la mienne. Demandez du Domino
Noir, ou de la Blonde. J’ai tout commandé.
669.--_Wednesday, January 9, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--Do not send Presto to the Dominoes; it will not answer.
Send to Porte St. Martin, to the name you first told me. Alas!
670.--_Friday, January 11, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--J’ai oublié tout-à-fait de l’envoyer. C’est absolument ma
faute. On est fâché. W. W. Lundi--A la Porte St. Martin. J’attendrai la
votre.
671.--_Saturday, January 12, 1856._
POETICUS.--Where are you now? 4, 126, 200, 272, 5, 96. Yours have not
been received. Be just. TRUTH.
672.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._
FRANGIPANI.--Do not doubt me. Numbers 67, 412, 87. You will now
comprehend the delay.
673.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._
H. B. M.--He that conquers a fault is even more worthy than if he had
never erred. With truth and honour for your weapons--hope still.--ROYAL
NAVY.
674.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--I have called twice. Presto was not at home. I cannot
account for it. One awaits you at Porte St. Martin. Do not keep me
longer in suspense. Alas! alas!
675.--_Wednesday, January 23, 1856._
LA COULEUR BRUNE et BLEU va RECEVOIR vos NOUVELLES; ils sont arriver
hier, jour de mon absence de Londres. Je vous faire prévenir de ma
réponse: je n’ai jamais d’autre souci.--19 Janvier.
676.--_Wednesday, January 23, 1856._
TOUJOURS en RAPPORT trouvera la musique à la même adresse qu’autre fois.
Pas de nouvelles de Mama. Dois-je vendre les actions, et gardez jusqu’à
quand la somme?--21 Janvier.
677.--_Friday, February 1, 1856._
BELFAST.--TRUTH.--He has, I expect, to receive a letter from her the
early part of next week. Yours of the 19th came safe to hand. I was not
so well pleased with the last entertainment.--B.
678.--_Saturday, February 2, 1856._
“Γνωθει Σεαυτογ.”
C.--If the advertiser is correct in assuming “C” to be the initial of
the “author” of the poem sent to N., he would be glad to hear further
from him, as he very much admires his style of satire, but can hardly
approve of its biting causticity.
679.--_Tuesday, February 5, 1856._
N.----NO. Quite out of place.--T. S.
680.--_Friday, February 8, 1856._
A. H.--I am indeed pained and shocked, and can hardly believe it
possible. WRITE all particulars to your broken-hearted father; also what
has become of him, and who are cognizant of it.
681.--_Monday, February 18, 1856._
DE L’EAU CHAUDE.--39.
682.--_Tuesday, February 19, 1856._
CU. Y. TZ.--Votre associe est très inquiet; vos affaires s’arrangeront,
mais vous ne devez pas vous absenter. Revenez ou écrire, à votre ami,
compatriote de M. L.
683.--_Thursday, February 21, 1856._
LAVENDER.
684.--_Thursday, February 21, 1856._
HEALTH and HAPPINESS.--Guests numerous. Presents 40. Friends and
pensioners received mementoes.--_Excelsior._
685.--_Thursday, February 28, 1856._
LAVENDER.--Cannot answer Anonymous Letters.
686.--_Saturday, March 1, 1856._
DE L’EAU CHAUDE. Happy Returns.--39.
687.--_Saturday, March 1, 1856._
Z.--I return the question to G. C. Street, as before. The three
relieving rounds received safely. Many thanks. Remember.
688.--_Friday, March 14, 1856._
ISABELL IS IN THE SAME Lodgings.
689.--_Tuesday, April 1, 1856._
HAMPSTEAD HEATH ENCLOSURE.--Look out! The Weasel is not asleep!
690.--_Wednesday, April 2, 1856._
TO M. R. B.--H.
691.--_Thursday, April 3, 1856._
HAMPSTEAD HEATH ENCLOSURE.--I am glad to hear Weasel is not asleep, as
traps are laid for him.
692.--_Saturday, April 5, 15, 19, 1856._
THAT promised on the 7th and dated 10th January reached your brother
only on the 17th March. His suspense was great, but faith steadfast. All
are safe to the 10th January. By the time you see this there will be
something awaiting you as before. Now safer than ever. Be vigilant, and
look well within, for the meshes are weaving around you.--Sibella.
693.--_Wednesday, April 9, 1856._
EDWARD.--I am nearly mad. Suspense is death to me. My inquiries have
only increased my sufferings. For God’s sake let me know the worst. Two
wretched dreams have caused desolation that scarcely death could
realize. Do WRITE.--St. Pancras.
694.--_Saturday, April 12, 1856._
L’INDISPOSITION de la “Séra du poête divin” est la seule chose au monde
qui puisse me causer du vrai chagrin. Rassurez moi.--Votre puisque.
695.--_Thursday, May 1, 1856._
AUSTRALIA.--EMY. WRITE.--TOBY.
696.--_Wednesday, May 7, 1856._
SUSAN (not lovely dear).--£100, not more. Quick work.
697.--_Tuesday, May 13, 1856._
DRIVE it from you as you would a pestilence. WRITE immediately, or apply
at Mr. W. P.’s.
698.--_Wednesday, May 14, 1856._
TO AMY.--7 first and last. Success is not to be desired, or sought for.
E. . . . . . . r, the watchword through life.
699.--_Thursday, May 29, 1856._
M. D.--I will arrange as well as I can, and with great pleasure. In such
a limited space I cannot describe all I feel, but I do feel deeply all I
have read.
700.--_Friday, May 30, 1856._
TO E.--Ten Thousand THANKS.--Three magnificent ones have come to
hand.--Your “Old Man.”
701.--_Tuesday, June 3, 4, 5, 1856._
TREU, fast, und verschwiegen. Haben sie mein so gar vergessen? Werde ich
sie am sechsten abends sehen, wenn ich gehe? Wenn nicht, darf ich
schreiben?
702.--_Wednesday, June 4, 1856._
BELLE MODELE, SERA, de 1854.--Je ne cherche que l’occasion de vous
assurer que vous m’êtes plus chère que jamais. Si vous m’aimez, soignez
cette précieuse santé. Notre séparation, les distractions du monde, ne
font qu’augmenter mon attachement. Ecrivez dix mots de confiance.--12
Septembre--VOTRE PUISQUE.
703.--_Tuesday, June 10, 1856._
TREU, Fast, Verschwiegen.--Ich kann niemals vergessen. Das Schreiben
wird aus Licht die Vergungen heiten aus ihrer Ruhe hervor zu klar zu
helle bringen; aber wenn Sie es wünschen, so schreiben Sie, und Ich
werde Ihnen auf Ihren Brief antworten.
704.--_Thursday, June 12, 1856._
UNALTERABLE, also, if you are my *. If you are, pray give me my own
sign. You cannot mistake it. Then I shall not offend if I write. This
very day let me have it.
705.--_Thursday, June 12, 1856._
FRIDAY, May 30.--I have the most beautiful horse in England, but not the
most beautiful lady. Your silence pains me deeply. I cannot forget
you.--M.
706.--_Friday, June 13, 1856._
UNALTERABLE.--Watch with O O O. Do WRITE immediately, as before. Not
received, but mistake discovered, and deeply regretted.--Z.
707.--_Saturday, June 14, 1856._
TO A. B. C.--Have noticed the “Impression,” cherish the deepest
gratitude, think (not certain) I know the good Samaritans. Pray be on
the look out, above all look “upwards.” Remember what is at stake.--A.
M. C.
708.--_Monday, June 16, 1856._
CHEF d’ŒUVRE du PEINTRE DIVIN.--La lettre que vous m’avez conjuré de
détruire, sur laquelle j’avais inscrit ces mots, “Non e per me più
felità,” c’est brulée. Celà m’a beaucoup coûté, puisqu’elle nous liait
mystérieusement ensemble, mais je vous obéis. Ma vie m’est sans
intérêt. Mon attachement augmente. Avez vous observé l’annonce
antécédente?--PUISQUE.
709.--_Saturday, June 21, 1856._
HAMPSTEAD-HEATH ENCLOSURE.--Wake up, and PETITION PARLIAMENT.
710.--_Saturday, June 21, 1856._
PUISQUE.--I wish to be assured my letter is destroyed. ADDRESS me by my
initials, Yes or No, certainly.
711.--_Saturday, June 21-25-28, 1856._
NOTHING of later date than 21st March received, consequently much
anxiety. Your brother is returned. For you three, since that sent you on
the 7th April.--Sibella. June 18.
712.--_Tuesday, June 24, 1856._
A. to B.--1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, YES. 6, 13, 14, 16,
17, No.--June 21, 1856.
713.--_Tuesday, June 24, 1856._
SOIR de CLAUDE LORRAINE.--Je suis convaincu qu’une annonce portant mon
nom adopté, et avec référence à un sujet qui nous régardait, ne
provenait pas de vous. Je l’attribue, donc, ou à quelque désir de me
tendre une piége, ou à une coincidence incroyable, et presqu’
impossible.--Sempré il stesso.
714.--_Tuesday, June 24, 1856._
MANCHESTER.--Only just before your letter reached my hotel in London I
obtained fresh light from the public documents upon the great question
in which we are both engaged. Prices do not fluctuate much (especially
cotton), because the annexation question (which chiefly affects us),
though complicated (look at Marcy’s note), may probably be finished, if
a proper mediator can be found. And why not? Answer this. It is
understood on both sides that the independence of the Parent State is to
be maintained; and, if necessary, vindicated, notwithstanding internal
cabal and unwarranted external intrigue and interference, which latter
is, after all, the chief cause of the misunderstanding between the
Powers. Your ’cuteness, I see, distances pretty considerably my
slowness, distracted as I am with the States’ affairs; but Weasel is not
caught twice in the same trap. Address as before.
715.--_Tuesday, June 24, 1856._
PUISQUE.--A reply so headed in this morning’s paper is not mine. I have
not replied at all until now, and shall not do so again in this manner.
Some mistake, or curiosity, or worse perhaps. WRITE to me, name in full,
post-office, giving an address: I will reply, giving you one, then there
can be no more mistakes. Do this at once. Grief and anxiety are rapidly
doing their work. My idol is indeed a rare combination of tenderness,
talent, and every virtue. Love and admiration still contend, represented
now by two sweet cherubs.--Ever YOUR OWN; June 21, 1856.
716.--_Saturday, June 28, 1856._
TOM came ashore yesterday, in the bark Hope, and wrote directly. He is a
shy, odd fellow, rather slow, but thoroughly honest, very like Parson
Adams.--June 27, 1856.
717.--_Thursday, July 3, 1856._
TOM put out last week in a storm, but, as the glass is rising, hopes to
find his way home soon, though he is alone in his slow boat, without a
pilot.--July 2, 1856.
718.--_Thursday, July 3, 1856._
FEUILLE de HETRE.--Je suis désolé d’apprendre, que vous avez été
souffrante, et je suis en proie à des anxiétés cruelles puisque vous
avez tant à entreprendre. Vous perdre serait mon coup de mort. Que le
Ciel vous protège. Ces lignes n’étaient que trop dévorés. Le tableau ne
vous est plus rival.--Il triste é povero asilo.
719.--_Monday, July 7, 1856._
NICHT EINE MILLION.
720.--_Tuesday, July 8, 1856._
KEINE MILLION, gar nichts, ist erwartet.
721.--_Wednesday, July 9, 1856._
MONEYMARSH.--SINGLE.
722.--_Thursday, July 10, 1856._
GENUG FUR ALLES.
723.--_Monday, July 14, 1856._
GWENLLIAN.--Tuesday or Wednesday.
724.--_Monday, July 14, 1856._
YOU promised to let me know your wishes and views of the matter in full.
You have not done so. I feel that I am unkindly treated. You think it
right to keep me always in the dark, and consider one unworthy your
confidence. London, 12th.
725.--_Monday, July 14, 1856._
MANCHESTER.--E.--Recent public documents have supplied me with the most
satisfactory intelligence upon the annexation question. Dallas is to fix
everything. But you must know that before I write again direct, I have
to satisfy myself as to the views of the parent state, which I conclude
to be all along pacific, though I am not cute in negotiation, having
been so long a squatter on the sunny banks of the far west. I am
particularly gratified to find that you cordially agree with me upon
this question.--Crampton has reached this.--V. M. F.--July 12.
726.--_Saturday, July 19, 1856._
MY COLOURS are NAILED, not tied to the MASTHEAD.--T.
727.--_Tuesday, July 22, 1856._
X. Y. Z.--In answer to yours of the 9th inst., Tom writes that his
sisters misunderstand him--they living in society, he in retirement,
never giving, and therefore too slowly taking a hint. How can he help
feeling towards them sincere brotherly love, when he is so fully aware
of their many valuable qualities, including an affectionate disposition,
good sense, superior education, and accomplishments? I tell him to try
and join them in a holiday trip before the winter.--Y. A. F.
728.--_Tuesday, July 22, 1856._
GROSSE FREUDE!--Aber warum hast du zweifel gehabt?--T.
729.--_Wednesday, July 23, 1856._
HEUTE in GEFANGNISS; morgen frei.--July 22.
730.--_Thursday, July 24, 1856._
MANCHESTER, E.--The discordance of my private despatches with the public
documents suddenly and most unexpectedly arrests my progress. In
retiring to the old Prairie settlement, I grieve to find myself obliged
to record what you, I know, fully believe, the entire sincerity and
disinterestedness of my long and anxious endeavours to arrange this

FAIRS.--Middlesex to wit.--These annual gatherings cannot be postponed,

the prow.--Tom.
